re: Who gives money to the homeless?

I don't think there is a premium board.

Off and on, depends on my mood/day. Gave a handful to a female native indian looking one around Thanksgiving. I couldn't get the look on her face out of my mind for a while.

I never give money to the homeless. I have bought a meal for a homeless person one time.


I would rather donate my money to other causes: Church, Shriners, and St. Jude's.

s someone who deals with them almost every single day I am at work, I know exactly what I am talking about. In 20 years I can count on my hand those that could be considered the "down on their luck" types (and even that is a stretch). Hundreds of them are bums, hucksters or addicts. You are just subsidizing crime in that localized area.

The same people who would lambaste some vapid chick's GoFundMe campaign for fake boobs will roll down their car window and throw bills to a bum and say, "why do I care if he spends it on crack

Idiot

When I see them in the same spot for awhile, I usually get them food instead.

When I was working more in the city, I would get hit twice a day at least. I started asking them for money first when they walked up to me, which pissed them off...they'd be like frick you man!

Once in San Francisco I saw a dud sitting on a box with a sign in front of it that said, need money for weed. I was impressed with the honesty, and donated...lol
